Received by FedEx when promised, great condition. Went over instruction sheet. Added oil, fuel and hooked up the battery. Pushed the start button and started right up. This is a quality piece of equipment. Well made, easy to use, plenty of power and the noise level is fantastic. What more could you ask for.
Bought as backup for on board Onan 4000. Have owned 3 new RVs & all Onans fail during warranty and then again out of it. Have one more race untill summer break and then can get it to shop/ and hope its back in 9 weeks. Had Generac in motor home for 9.5 years & never any issues with my personal routine service. Ran iGen inverter 15M and then for 2 hours with 15K A/C on. Showed 50% with compressor running &big drop when compressor is off (on energy saver) and r.p.m drops. Will know more about capabilities after next 3 day use. It is a little louder than other inverters I have observed at races but quiter than Champion 4000/3500 generator. 50 hour oil changes will be a drawback but only holds .6 quart of oil. Guess that makes it necessary.
This was probably the easiest startup of a new piece of equipment I have ever done. Put oil and gas in the generator and push the button on the key fob. It was that simple. It started immediately and ran great. I ran it at low speed on eco mode for one hour and then changed oil just as a safety precaution. I was impressed how quiet the thing ran. I hooked it up to our travel trailer via the rv outlet provided (No adapters necessary) and it worked great. I ran both refrigerators, the 13,500 air unit and lights and only pulled a max of 2.4k on the meter so there was plenty of power left. Great little machine so far!
